Since 1959, The Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North has been a community of business leaders, influencers and doers that primarily serve others in Santa Barbara, California; Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and the Maasai people of Kenya and northern Tanzania.  Its projects include tutoring elementary students, high school leadership training, building medical clinics, providing books, computers and playgrounds, and drilling water wells.  Our members include business owners, professionals of all types, non-profit leaders, PTA volunteers and members of clergy. 

RCSBN has adopted a new goal to help add twenty-four youth residential treatment center beds in Santa Barbara County by 2035.  The need is acute. In today's social turbulence, 600 high schoolers will attempt to take their lives in our county each year.  90% will survive but not have the option for residential treatment in SB County because of California-wide shortage of RTC beds.  With that as our motivation, we are working to improve the options for at-risk youth.  

Rotary is a global movement rooted in fellowship and service, thriving on and adapting to solve new social challenges like mental wellness.  Santa Barbara North Rotarians are connected in their mission with seven other Rotary clubs in south Santa Barbara County and 46,000 other clubs across the globe; providing humanitarian service, encouraging high ethical standards and helping build goodwill and peace in the world. 

Because of holidays, November and December meetings move to the 2nd and 3rd Wednesdays.  Occasionally meetings are held at an offsite location.  Please check the speakers link for the meeting location before visiting.
